Just thought I'd put a welcome in the more 'traditional' location... I love your artwork! You seem to enjoy drawing my favorite Gatch character. I hope to see you around the forums!

I can't wait to see what you draw next!

Hello again Thunderbird. I said it over in the other thread but please tell us more about yourself here in this thread. Keep up the excellent drawing, your piccies are beautiful.

Well I'm a electronics technician who loves to draw. I love cartoons. I love RPGs...the paper and pencil kind. I've been a fan of BoTP ever since I saw it in the 70s. I revere the Gatchaman original version but there is soft spot in my heart for BoTP and Hoyt Curtain's music.

I'm with you on the Gatch love but BOTP soft spot! I grew up with BOTP, but it took Gatch to get me completely addicted as an adult! I do RPGs too... D&D 3.5 right now, but I'm guessing that will upgrade to 4.0 soon. I've heard a lot about it and it seems like it will be really cool. I've also done a lot of ICE/RMSS.

Love the avatar! Welcome to the madness

I play Champions the RPG right now (The SUPER Hero game! Which I have illustrated for). I used to run the Gatchaman one. It easy a maintenace high game but you can be and do anything. Thunderbird was my NPC (As I ran the game) Bird of Paradise, Malard ,Raven and Penguin rounded out the team. I'll post some of their design on DA soon so you can check it out.

Oooo...that sounds neat, Thunderbird...I'd love to see your pics!

Well you've seen the ones on the DA site...I'm sure I will continue to add to them. My friends here in twon aslked me to draw their Star Wars characters...so that is tonights project.

I'm sure we'll all keep you busy with our ideas!

Oh, SPringie and Thunderbird, I am loving the new avatars! And Thunderbird, WTG on creating your own Gatch-style characters! Reminds me a bit of the Giant ITP forums...

OK here is the official welcoming commitee... I'm the little black Swan...though there is more than one on this board... but heck, why not!

I just recently started poking around in that forum, now that I've read the entire Order of the Stick series to date, twice. Do you post there?

Katse has her Osprey character design. I get enough and I might do a team shot. I posted Osprey on my site at DA.

Not much. I can't keep up with it all and also stay current in the Gatch places! But I'm registered and I lurk sometimes... Especially when Haley was gibbering. There would always be someone posting translations relatively quickly and I was too lame to do the cryptograms myself. BTW, you DO know that there are OOTS books, don't you? They all have new material (and translations for Haley's gibberish) and there's also a black and white 'prequel' book. We have the board game too, and that's fun as well!

I did find the translations of Haley's gibberish! (I used to like doing cryptogram puzzles, but they do take a long time). I knew there were books, but I didn't know that they have extra material. I wonder if amazon has any used copies...

Hmmmm..... As it turns out, they are: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Order+of+the+Stick&x=0&y=0

Oooh! I must get Volume 0, the prequel, first. I think I can handle $13 and a bit for shipping. Off to fish out my credit card...

Don't forget Volume -1 !!!!!!

Welcome Thunderbird, it's great to have another Condor around, and your avatar is superb... along with Springies!

Thanks, GG! I love my new avatar, too! BTW, Thunderbird left us a little "gift" in the Gallery...go and take a peek!
